Local Environmental Conditions
Around 60% of the area near this site in Kirrawee is built-up land, with a good deal of woodland. A watercourse nearby means riverside trees such as willow are part of the local pollen picture. Of the trees nearby, olive and willow are the ones that matter most for allergies. Grasses also feature strongly, alongside pigweed and plantain among the weeds.
Tree pollen peaks in early spring, when the weather warms to around 15°C and olive and willow are in full flower. Grasses take over in mid-spring, with temperatures around 20°C, and their pollen lingers into mid-fall. The season closes with pigweed and plantain from early summer into early fall. Warm, damp weather from midsummer into early fall also raises mold spore levels.

How often is the Kirrawee pollen forecast updated?
The Kirrawee pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Kirrawee come from nearby or far away?
Studies show that most pollen exposure (often 70–90%) comes from nearby sources, such as local trees and vegetation. A good pollen forecast therefore depends on accurately representing local vegetation. Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.
Are pollen levels in Kirrawee based on measurements or forecasts?
Pollen data is often misunderstood. Most "pollen levels" are not real-time measurements, but forecasts.
Direct pollen measurements are typically delayed by 1-2 days because they require manual analysis. To show current conditions in Kirrawee, modern forecasts combine recent measurements, weather data, and information about local vegetation.
This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.
Airmine’s atmospheric monitoring platform was developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team, using satellite and Earth observation technologies to improve emissions monitoring.
Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 pollen scores represent risk levels, not direct pollen measurements. Higher scores indicate higher risk.
Pollen
| None | 0 | No or negligible risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen or mold spores may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen/mold exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
